The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) organize reasoning operations—such as problem formulation, goal decomposition, and deduction—within their hidden representation spaces. It shows that these operations are separable in held‑out representations, with peak separability in middle layers, and that token‑wise alignment of operations becomes more distributed across spans as layers deepen. Attention‑masking experiments reveal that representations aligned to operations at chunk onsets depend on prior reasoning context, indicating a geometric correspondence between linguistic reasoning expressions and internal model structure.
